Crash ties up traffic at Possum Run Road, two injured

MANSFIELD - A two-car crash tied up traffic at Ohio 13 and Possum Run Road south of Mansfield on Friday night, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol.

Tessa Berry, 17, was issued a citation after authorities say she drove a 2007 Pontiac G5 through a red light and crashed into a left-turning car around 9 p.m., said Trooper Ryan Davenport, of the patrol's Mansfield post.

Wade Carroll, 19, was driving a 2015 Dodge Journey south on Ohio 13 when he tried to turn left on Possum Run Road at a green light, Davenport said.

Berry, who was driving north on Ohio 13, drove through a red light and struck the Dodge Journey in the middle of the intersection, he said.

Two people in the Dodge Journey were taken to OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital with minor injuries, the trooper said. A 5-month-old baby was in the Dodge Journey, but was unharmed, he said.

The collision backed up traffic at the intersection for about an hour, Davenport said.
